Hrm.

The reason this list is kind of surprising is because there are 3
different "flavours" of KVM on ppc: KVM HV ("pseries" only), KVM PR
(almost any combination, theoretically, but kind of buggy in
practice), and the Book E specific KVM (Book-E systems with HV
extensions only).

But basically, qemu explicitly managing what accelerators are
available for each machine seems the wrong way around to me.  The
approach we've generally taken is that qemu requests the specific
features it needs of KVM, and KVM tells us whether it can supply those
or not (which may involve selecting between one of the several
flavours).

That way we can extend KVM to cover more situations without needing
corresponding changes in qemu every time.
